imagine my shock getting burned out of grad school because the guy i worked for had absolutely zero technical skills in anything that interfaced with the research equipment. just a noggin full of papers and shit. even academia is this fucked up about a lot of stuff.

Hm interesting, idk if the size or status has anything to do with the tendency to have people around like that. It's probably just the nature of how scummy academia can be I guess.
